If you happen to be in Orange County and do not want to drive far for bigger and more “serious” club, there is a nice little one named: Lucky (or Lucky Heap Table Tennis Club in La Habra.
It’s small with only 5 tables but members are friendly, and the management works hard to set you into various types of competition and games.
Don’t let the images of the “ping-pong” club in the old days stop you from making a visit to the club. Meet the management, the 3 coaches: Two Koreans and one Chinese, come watch the nightly competition, see the coaches make the members sweating, and talk to the friendly members of the club.
The owner of the club is Korean but I can't call it Korean club since members are from all over the world and American members has a high percentage - what a surprise !
I did not visit the club on the trip home the year before because of the ping-pong images. Last year I made a try and it was a very nice, worthwhile 2 weeks of fun games and met some nice new friends there.
Check it out!
